Get Rid of ISIS Using This One Weird Trick

You’ve seen those internet ads that offer “one weird trick” for eliminating belly fat or boosting testosterone, right? Well, here’s one weird trick for getting rid of ISIS and boosting our security from terrorism. The “trick” is non-intervention. And it is only weird in the sense that it is so uncommon in this age of war. Nonetheless, it works.

The “one weird trick” has three easy steps. These steps are only “easy” for Westerners, because they basically amount to us refraining from constantlyfucking things up. Once we get out of their way, the hard work will be done by locals, which is as it should be.

Step 3:The West should stop directly bombing Syria and Iraq. Such attacks inevitably massacre civilians, and thereby only strengthen ISIS. Civil society is thus weakened and less capable of resisting the hardened extremists. Plus, more Muslim youth are thus radicalized by atrocity and more susceptible to extremist recruitment.
